musings and inspirations in art, fashion, craft, decor, creative business and creative living by artist Traci Bautista
be inspired...live a beautiful life...

Just in time for a HANDMADE holiday! I have released a limited edition collection of NEW FLAIR kit bundles...these colorful kits are hand picked pieces from collections in my studio. I have spent hours painting colorful canvases, dyeing fabrics and doodling on hand printed papers and want to inspire you!

I LOVE to create FLAIR trays to inspire my design projects, so I'm bringing that same concept to you with the FLAIR color bundle kits! The color bundles are great to use in your art journal, mixed media art, add pieces to art quilts or scrapbook pages. Use them as color palette inspiration or hang them on your inspiration wall.

AUTUMN + HOLIDAY art journaling live stream workshop ~ December 10, 11:00am - 12:30pm PT [usa time] details will be emailed to you. If you are unable to make the LIVE webinar, there will be a replay available. I'll share more about this NEW live streaming event in an upcoming post.

Hi my lovely creative peeps! It's been awhile since my last post. I needed a break, I've been under the weather and am finally starting to feel better.

NEW directions---->After the past year and a half of brainstorming, creating, editing, writing and promoting Printmaking Unleashed. I just needed a break...a break from teaching, a break from creating, a break from writing. I was feeling uninspired...which really never happens to me. But I just felt the need to be quiet, to dig deep inside and just be. LIVE in the moment.

I designed a new DIY planner/calendar, testing out new digital product designs.

I've been doing a lot of soul searching, planning, brainstorming and decision making on where to take my business next.

new hand-dyed handmade papers made from recycled papers...

took a little personal time and self-care...I spent some time visiting my family in Hawaii.

taught mixed media workshops at Art Unraveled...

Making time to learn NEW techniques...I signed up for my very first ceramics/pottery class. I'm learning to throw on the wheel and hand build pots...it's such a fun and relaxing process. It's a lot harder than it looks, but I'm totally loving it! I grew up surrounded by ceramics because my grandma was always painting and making interesting pieces. Every time we visited, I'd sit and watch her paint ceramics in her garage studio. I don't know why I've never taking a class before..it's inspired me to push my art in NEW directions.

spending time with my LOVES...

savoring our beautiful backyard sunsets..taking time to BREATHE...

hope you are taking time for yourself..and exploring NEW directions...
